Over-the-top television offers new opportunities for aspiring creators. The Internet has made it possible for independent producers to make their own web serials without a TV studio behind them, but unless it’s a vlog, nothing can make it easy or cheap. Actors, writers, location scouts and set builders all need money, which means you need money.
If you don’t yet have a contract with Netflix, Hulu, Vudu or Amazon Prime, this isn’t necessarily the end of the world. You can have your own over-the-top television channel. If you don’t have enough material to fill 24 hours, that doesn’t matter — very few people watch the same channel 24 hours a day anyway. The key is knowing how to monetize so as to make it pay, and how to advertise it so that enough people will know about it and want to pay.
How to make it pay
One way to do this is to offer subscriptions, selling access to your content for monthly payments or on a pay-per-view basis. You can also sell ad time within your video content. Digital ad researches have learned that ad revenue from TV plug-in boxes is now greater than revenue from online advertising on web browsers, because people expect to see ads on TV but look for ways to avoid or stop them online.You can take advantage of advertising revenue by getting the advertisers from video ad networks, becoming an approved publisher with the first ConnectedTV AdNetwork or just finding them yourself.
The simplest way to get your content into the world of OTT television is to find a company that offers OTT apps you can use to build your station. This will let you connect directly to existing networks of potential customers.
